The location was excellent for exploring the area. Breakfast was delicious every day and real maple syrup and homemade jam were appreciated! Gerald offered assistance when needed and his dry sense of humour amusing) There was no kettle in the room if you wish to make coffee or tea. We would recommend this establishment and would stay here again.

Our knowledgeable host was super helpful mapping out our sites and activities and served us a hearty, memorable meal to start each day of walking the city, including delicious homemade strawberry jam. Room was as described and worth the price. Location central and super safe. Merci Gerard pour tout!

The room was good, and location very nice. The host was a little intimidating. He served delicious breakfast everyday and gave us advice on parking and sights to see. but when we asked a question, he was a bit abrupt and not very friendly

Quebec City adventure
This was a very comfortable provision for our one night stay following our cruise from Boston. A great price and location alternate to the congested pricey accommodations in the walled upper-old city. Just 2 blocks from the gated entry at Cote du Palais. The host was most helpful in securing our taxi for our 4am trek to the airport. Technology kicked us, the taxi was not an app request through Uber, we paid him in cash; however Uber picked the ride up on my app and not realizing this had occurred, I paid all over again when I gave a 5 star plus tip for what I thought was an incomplete ride from a previous port excursion. So Uber users beware. We are taking this in stride as we learned at airport that some were unable to secure rides in advance and therefore spent the night at the airport! Sadly, we missed the breakfast due to our early departure.

Hotel muy céntrico y familiar
Hotel pequeño y tranquilo con trato muy cercano. Ubicación excepcionalmente buena, cercano a ambas partes baja y alta del Viejo Quebec. Desayuno muy rico y abundante. Gerald, la persona que lleva el hotel, proporciona todo tipo de información y consejos de cara a disfrutar de esta ciudad, así como un trato muy familiar con abundante conversación muy enriquecedora.

L'Intendant is a charming small B&B. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and while the breakfast is the same every day, it is quite enjoyable. The B&B has three levels, but there is no elevator, so be cautious if you have mobility issues.

Accueil parfait, chambre propre mais finitions bof
Chambre propre mais avec des finitions aléatoires. Le plus tient en la qualité de l'accueil, avec le propriétaire au petits soins. En revanche, pas de parking, il faut payer le parking public ce qui n'était pas annoncé sur le site.

Vraiment bien situé. Près de la gare de train et autobus. Personnel accueillant et serviable. Excellent petit déjeuner. Établissement pas en “top shape” mais si on n’est pas a la recherche du luxe, pour le prix, cet hôtel a pleinement satisfait mes besoin. P.S. Attention, pas d’élévateur.
